<b>ISHISHI - Gothic and Medieval Cityscape with Ornamental Egg Form - Blue Ballpoint Pen on Paper, 2026</b><br>
Signed contemporary drawing on paper. Gothic and medieval architectural cityscape. Blue ballpoint pen. Unframed.<br><br>
<b>Description</b><br>
A refined and balanced architectural fantasy in blue ballpoint pen. Gothic and medieval-style buildings - towers, pointed spires, shingled rooftops, arched windows - are interconnected with winding serpentine roads and ornate decorative columns bearing organic swirling patterns. The centrepiece is a large ornamental egg form with marbled or agate-like patterning, a striking focal point within the sprawling architectural composition.<br><br>
The composition has a slightly more ordered quality than some of the other ISHISHI ballpoint works, with the winding path creating a clear narrative flow through the city. The draftsmanship is precise and the paper is bright and clean. In very good condition with no foxing or tears. Signed "ISHISHI" at lower right. Verso: "© 2026".<br><br>
